Tuition & Costs

Rockwood believes leadership can and should reflect the diverse communities in which we live and work. We are committed to making the Art of Leadership and Leadership in Action trainings available to as many social change leaders as possible. Thanks to the generous support of the foundations and donors who support us, we underwrite up to 50-80% of training costs for leaders whose organizations have limited resources.

Tuition is based on a sliding scale. Please see the Tuition page for details. You can also use the sliding scale tool on
the application form to determine your tuition. There is a separate
room and board fee that varies by your training location. Participants
are expected to cover their travel costs.
